2018 Alcyone Harmony
Albariño Dessert Wine
Out Of Stock
Alcyone is the name of the Central Sun in the Pleiades, Alcyone Harmony is the name given to our winemaker, Mike's daughter. This delicious Albariño dessert wine displays characteristics that made him think of her as he created it. Filled with sweetness, energy and images of her infectious smile this wine is medium to full-bodied and rich with aromas of cobbler made with perfectly ripe honey-dipped peaches and nectarines followed by a bright, balanced palate of the same luscious pie à la mode and a lingering, full velvet finish. It’s sure to make you smile, just like Alcyone Harmony!

Other Notes
Fairly light on the nose, this dessert wine offers aromas of concentrated lime syrup as well as a fresh zesty character. There's a sweet honey kick to the sip, but the lime-driven acidity is most compelling, giving it a lighter feel into the macadamia nut finish - Wine Enthusiast
